Not when I have a Le Creuset enameled cast iron dutch oven, and it makes meat come out looking like this:

The flavor difference between this and what comes out of a crock pot is amazing. I used my crock pot recipe for Cafe Rio Pork and didn't change a thing. Wow, now you can really taste the flavor. It came out tasting like it was prepared in a smoker. I am so excited to try more recipes in my new pot!

I found conversion charts online that state how to convert crock pot recipes to dutch oven. Cook at 325 for 1/4 the time for low setting recipes and 1/2 the time for high setting recipes. These are just general guidelines.

About Me

I love to play with paper, photoshop, and books. He loves to scroll saw. And we both love to play board games with our friends. We love spending time with our family and we've gotten good at the long drives to go see them.

About this blog...

These are some of our family's favorite recipes. Let me know if you try them and how you like them and how you change them. I rarely cook without changing something in a recipe, so it won't offend me any. I'd love to know new ways to try these foods and if your family loves them too.
